[kepler-users] Fwd: WANDS'10 call for participation

[Matt Jones]

For those of you interested in research on workflows and workflow systems,
the upcoming WANDS'10, held in conjunction with SIGMOD,  workshop should
prove interesting.  Our colleague Bertram Ludaescher has been invited for
the keynote, so it certainly will be stimulating.

The agenda is below if you're interested.

Cheers,
Matt

*** WANDS: The 1st International Workshop on Workflow Approaches to New
Data-centric Science ***

Held in conjunction with SIGMOD 2010

*June 6*, 2010, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Workshop website:     http://wands2010.doc.ic.ac.uk
Registration website: https://regmaster3.com/2010conf/MOD10/register.php

****  the SIGMOD early registration deadline is May 15th. ****

** Scope of the workshop **
A number of innovative, but uncoordinated, efforts in data-centric workflows
have made their mark on the scientific and business world in recent years.
The goal of this workshop is to use these efforts to bring together a
research community around the theoretical foundations, technology
development, and domain applications of workflow systems. As a first
postulate, we take that there is no uniform workflow solution, in the same
way that there is no uniform programming language. Furthermore, our goal is
not to promote a particular technology, or even interoperability between
individual technologies. What we intend to achieve is to present, discuss
and ultimately better the different computational models, usability
patterns, and domain approaches used in the field.

The program includes 6 research papers, one position paper, and 3 invited
contributions:
- a keynote by Prof. *Bertam Ludaescher, UC Davis*,
- an invited talk by *Prof. Tova Milo, from Tel Aviv University*,
- and a report on the 2009 NSF workshop on Data-Centric Workflows, by
*Jianwen Su*, UCSB.

Organisers:

Paolo Missier, University of Manchester, UK -- pmissier at cs.man.ac.uk
Vasa Curcin, Imperial College, UK -- vasa.curcin at imperial.ac.uk
Susan Davidson, University of Pennsylvania, USA -- susan at seas.upenn.edu
